Some of my favorite tools have been updated recently.  GnuPG was recently updated to version 1.4.11.  OSSEC was updated to version 2.5.1.  Speaking of OSSEC, there are a number of bloggers out there participating in the 2nd Annual Week of OSSEC.  Daniel Cid appears to be doing wrap-up posts every day with pointers to the various blog posts, so go check them out.  Here are the wrap-ups for days 1, 2, and 3.  There is some interesting stuff there for those who want to get the most out of OSSEC.  I also wanted to point out an interesting tip on using wireshark/tshark to decode SSL traffic by Mark Baggett and (fellow new GSE) Doug Burks.
